The Flying Horse (Once Upon a Horse #1)

by Sarah Maslin Nir (Author) Laylie Frazier (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade

From author of the memoir Horse Crazy, the first in a series of fictional middle-grade novels inspired by real horses and the people who love them

Trendsetter is a horse destined to fly--in more ways than one. Sarah is a horse-loving seventh grader who has a secret and a fear of losing the one thing she loves most in the world. Separated by an ocean, a horse and a girl's parallel struggles to be their best include lots of luck and grit, some stubbornness, and a few failures. It is only when they find each other that the two kindred spirits find themselves. Together they learn that what's important in life isn't greatness--it's being great at being you. Inspired by a real horse and a real girl, The Flying Horse will make horse-lovers' hearts soar.
